LogViewer 1.1

Mango 1.4.3 has been released, and is available via automatic update. As far as I know, the only difference between 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 is a fix for a bug I reported with the new logging functionality.

Version 1.4.2 of Mango introduced logging to the database and gets rid of the old web-accessible log files. Users of LogViewer will need to update the plugin in order to manage their logs.

This update to LogViewer reflects some changes to the way logging works. In particular, there are now several different types of errors, not just two. For now, all errors are displayed together — but I may change that later to let you specify just one type to display. I may also add pagination, if there is a demand for it.

Plugin:

LogViewer

Version:

1.1

Requires:

Mango Blog 1.4.3+

Auto-install URL:

http://fusiongrokker.com/get/LogViewer

Users still on an older version of Mango (pre 1.4.2) can still download LogViewer 1.0.

LogViewer source is now hosted on GitHub.

• Mark Aplet Feb 4, 2010 at 12:40 PM Great fix Adam. I am actually glad Laura changed the way errors are stored. Not because I was concerned, but I think it shows the community that she is on top of it. Glad that you are as well. Nice update!
• Kevin Shively Feb 16, 2010 at 7:47 PM I installed the plugin, but it does not show up in my list of icons in the left of the admin.
• Adam Tuttle Feb 17, 2010 at 8:12 AM Hi Kevin, what version of Mango are you running? (In admin, look at the left side of the footer.) You should be running 1.4.3.
• Kevin Shively Feb 17, 2010 at 8:45 AM Yes, it is 1.4.3. I recently updated it prior to installing the plugin.
• Kevin Shively Feb 17, 2010 at 8:46 AM In addition, and I don't know whether this helps, it seems to take a very long time if I simply try to run a basic SQL query on the log table in the DB. There doesn't seem to be a lot of entries, but the table itself seems to load a lot slower than others.
• Kevin Shively Feb 17, 2010 at 10:05 AM Yep, that must be it. We are using MSSQL.
• Adam Tuttle Mar 4, 2010 at 8:46 AM @Kevin and anyone else who has noticed the same problem; there is an issue with some of the new logging functionality (reading and deleting) that only affects MSSQL. It has been fixed and will be included in the next Mango update.
